I have this item listed and with a check mark, but there is no "value" type setting for it. The box just displays three items and they all have a check mark. (Spelling Hyphenation, and Thesaurus) Now when I click the Edit button, another dialog is presented with the three items and at the top there is a language setting and it is set for English(USA). In that list box there are six languages available to choose, but only three of them have the ABC with a check mark in front of them. Two English and the other is Italian that have a special indicator. Under the Languages options, everything is set for English(USA). STATUS UPDATE: I have just been able to get something to work. If I create a new document the spell check works great and it also will now check the spelling as I type as well. This is the first time that it has worked at all. But only in a new document. So I have to conclude that it was the original language settings that were set to "default" that was creating the problem. I had set all these settings to English (USA) yesterday, but they are evidently only used when creating new documents. I have not been able to find the settings for the language in existing documents to be able to change it. The character attributes appear to be fine and the proper language is set there is as well. If I copy/paste the contents of an existing doc into a new doc, it remains inoperative as it copies the format settings. I did discover that if I select the text in the existing doc, like using CTRL-A, then right click and select "Default Formatting" then the spell check will work properly on the existing doc. Of course I loose all the format settings, but they are easy enough to go back and reset. Also, if I open an existing 1.1.4 doc, it also appears to be working now as well. I do not recall actually testing this before since I do not have much reason to go back edit completed documents. So it appears to be working now and should remain operational, until the next beta version update and all the config settings have to be repeated again since it creates a new user config tree for each version for the default values. But at least I know now what needs to be set. Thank you for your reply and assistance.
